About this map

The high lava plains and volcanic peaks of the Paulina Mountains dominate this 1967 field-checked survey within the Deschutes National Forest. The landscape is defined by its distinct volcanic topography, including cinder cones such as Fuzztail Butte, Kwinnum Butte, and Company Butte. The absence of permanent settlements is contrasted by a network of specialized access ways including Lava Road, Crack Road, and several miles of unnamed jeep trails.

Groundwater access in this arid volcanic terrain is highlighted by Swamp Wells, situated just north of Swamp Wells Butte. Evidence of local extraction is visible at the Cinder Pit near the southern boundary, where the terrain begins to rise toward Cinder Hill. The map provides a detailed view of the natural forest environment before modern recreational development, capturing a geography shaped by ancient lava flows and modern forestry management.
